КИЙТ Търман
“It’s an honor to be on this platform. I’m excited to be back at Barclays Center. My last fight at Barclays Center was the first time I felt the fans give me love and I felt like I made it.
“I’m excited to feel the energy in the arena. We’re recovered and we’re ready. We did what we needed to so that we’re ready forСъбота нощ.
“As I think about this fight, these are dreams coming true for me. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a dream. I think about how I was raised by Ben Getty to this moment. Ben used to say that my moment was ‘right around the corner,’ and now it’s here. He was a wise man and he knew what he was talking about.
“This is a great fight. This is what the boxing fans want to see. I truly believe you are looking at two of the best welterweights in the world.
“I’m here as an entertainer. I’m here for the love of the sport. The fans want to see these kinds of fights. It’s obvious in the welterweight division that we are the two most exciting and devastating fighters in the division.
“Everybody kept talking about the sparring video, so I just decided to put it out. Sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting. This fight will be judged and this time I’ll have eight-ounce gloves on.
“It’s always been my dream to be the undisputed champion of the world.
“I’m looking forward to a great performance. I’m excited to a great challenge from Shawn Porter. There is a burning desire within myself to have a knockout victory. It’s hard to make world-class fighters quit. The fans ultimately want to see that knockout victory.
“There are real stakes are on the line тази събота нощ. Our careers are on the line. My title is on the line. My undefeated record is on the line. It’s a great fight and a great matchup.
“I do believe that with each and every fight, you step up, you step up and you step up. Така, thus the stakes are always higher and there are those times where you get a decent fight. Но както казах, this is a great fight at a great moment of both athletes’ кариери. We are both in our prime. I’m 27-years-old, Shawn is 28-years-old, we’ve both accomplished many great things and a victory в събота night is just going to be another thing to add to the resume.
“This really is the best fight of the best. We’re trying to satisfy the fans and we’re trying to challenge ourselves, push ourselves, and see where we fit in and how great we really are. I’m going to show you Събота night how great Keith “One Time” Thurman really is.
“Just like Ali said, Събота нощ, I’m going to show you how great I am.”
Шон PORTER
“Тук е. It’s been long anticipated and it’s here. I have never been more excited to fight in my life. Това е благословия. Along this journey I’ve been able to learn the basics and excel in the basics and I found myself in a position where I’ve been able to be very successful.
“My hometown Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA title is definitely a motivation. It motivates me to be a winner. I want to bring this belt back to Ohio.
“I’m looking forward to this kind of moment to shine. That’s how you gain notoriety and become bigger. Няма никакъв натиск, just excitement.
“I’m just looking forward to getting in there and getting that energetic feeling. I want to feel the excitement of getting into the ring and all the adrenaline that rushes through.
“This is the fight I wanted. I wanted to have fun training for a fight like this. Keith has made it possible. He’s so good it pushes me to be better.
“This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time that two friends fight. I’m done talking about us being friends because it’s time for us to start punching each other. My plan is to have great defense, avoid getting hit and win the fight.
“I didn’t take much time off after the postponement. We tried to train and stay ready through the cancellation. You never know when the phone is going to ring. We just wanted to stay in shape, get better and be ready for anything.
“I feel like if Floyd Mayweather comes back, he should fight the winner of this matchup. I believe that will be me.
“I’m not going to go in there looking for a knockout and throw my hands wildly. I’m going to keep up the pace that I normally keep up. I’m a great boxer. People consider me a boxer, but I may surprise you.”
ДЖАРЕТ ХЪРД
“I’m thankful for this opportunity. This is a great shot for me right now. In my last fight I had an opportunity similar to this. I was a fill-in for television and I did what I was supposed to do.
“Success is accomplished when preparation meets opportunity. I know things like this can happen. It doesn’t change anything. We’re going to go out and do what we trained for.
“You always get butterflies before getting in the ring but that’s normal. Molina is very experienced and has good hand speed but I know what I can do. We’re ready for this.
“I’m happy to be on this stage. This could be the biggest fight of the year and I’m extremely blessed to open it up.
“I’m going to go out there and put on another terrific performance. Molina, he’s an Olympian and he has a lot of experience. He’s a crafty fighter and we’re going to do what we have to do to get the victory.
“We’re ready to do what we’re going to do. Това ще бъде голяма борба в събота нощ.”
OSCAR MOLINA
“Готов съм за това. I’m more than ready for this. These type of fights are what gets me up to train.
“This guy I’m fighting is young, undefeated and a prospect like myself. I know he’s going to be ready and it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m ready for him.
“This is a huge deal for me. I was already excited to be on this huge undercard. When they told me that I was moving up to CBS I knew how big of an opportunity it is for me and my career.
“Hurd is a tall and lanky fighter. I saw his last fight and I see that he does well with guys who are flat footed. My boxing skills and my footwork are something he’s never seen before. Frank Galarza was tailor-made for Hurd and I think I’m going to be able to give him different looks.
“I’m a boxer-puncher and I can adapt to different styles. I also have power for big knockouts but my boxing skills are most important.
“Fighting in the Olympics taught me to adapt to different styles. I have a fan-friendly style and I’m excited to put on a show.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
“We’re ready for this fight. Keith trains hard every day and we know Shawn and Kenny well. I’ve brought them to my gym and these two guys have gone a lot of rounds together.
“I think Keith Thurman is the most gifted guy in boxing. He does everything right. Събота night we’re looking for a great fight and I know in my heart that we will be victorious.”
KEN PORTER, Отец Портър & Треньор
“Това е страхотно да бъда тук. It’s great to be on this stage with Shawn. This isn’t something we just started getting ready for, this is something he’s been getting ready for since birth. I always had a mindset to put Shawn in a position to excel in life. He has not disappointed.
“I know these guys are going to give it everything they have. It will be 100 percent for as long as it lasts. We’re prepared to take the championship. These are great guys here to the right, но в събота we’re bringing everything to the table.
“We’re coming to deliver a great show. Enjoy yourselves в събота нощ.”
LOU DIBELLA, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment
“This is what it’s all about. Тази събота нощ, the best is fighting the best. It’s right here in Brooklyn on CBS. It’s the first fight on CBS in primetime since Muhammad Ali fought over 30 Преди години.
“This is a terrific card from top to bottom. There is a tremendous undercard, a great co-feature and a main event that boxing fans have been waiting for a long time.
“This is an undercard chock full of talent. You will want to get there early as there are evenly matched bouts all night.
“SHOWTIME has highlighted the 154-pound division in recent shows, so it makes sense that there will be another significant matchup in that division on CBS Събота night with Jarrett Hurd and Oscar Molina.
“We’re not going to talk about friendship and respect anymore with these two guys, that’s in the past and the future. These guys know their future is dependent on beating up the other guy and a fight of this magnitude makes the stakes even higher.
“The best want to fight the best and it starts Събота нощ. The winner of this fight wants to be the best in the world. Both men want to be an undisputed welterweight champion.”
СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Изпълнителен вицепрезидент & Генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт
“Юни 25 is a very special day and night for us at CBS. It begins with the heavyweight world title being contested between Anthony Joshua and Dominic Breazeale and then the return of boxing to primetime CBS for the first time in almost 40 години.
“This was an easy fight to make. Shawn and Keith, neither one hesitated for a second in taking this fight. All credit goes to them for taking this fight. It’s a difficult fight for both on a big stage.
“Boxing takes criticism for not making the right fights at the right time. One of the bad habits we have is that we spend time thinking about fights that might get made. But now we have the right fight, at the right time and at the right venue. It’s a disservice to not recognize that what is going в събота is very special and very exciting.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Забавление
“It’s an exciting week at Barclays Center. Тази вечер we host the NBA Draft, the weigh-in утре and our big event Съботанощ. The momentum is building for this fight and we are on pace for the biggest crowd for a boxing event since we opened.
“We are excited about bringing a great night of fights to Brooklyn. We welcome Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter back to Brooklyn as they have both fought there once before.
“It’s become tradition to have both of you fight in our ring and we know how popular you are with our fans and we love to have you back.
“This will be the first primetime fight on CBS since the first Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks fight in 1978 and it’s a big moment for the boxing community for sure. We look forward to hosting everyone в събота нощ.”

Това Събота, Юни 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT на CBS
Кликнете ТУК For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
NEW YORK (Юни 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – световни шампиони, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “One Time” Търман (26-0, 22 Нокаута) и бивш световен шампион “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 Нокаута).
The majority of the fighters polled – some of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winner – lean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Събота eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® на събитието на CBS, представени от Premier Boxing Champions (9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, вълнуващ, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Търман срещу. Износване”:
Дани Гарсия (Шампион на WBC в полусредна категория): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 борба, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.”
Кел Brook (Шампион в полусредна категория на IBF):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto one – it’s really a pick ’em fight for me.”
Ерол Спенс Jr. (Непобеждаван Welterweight Contender): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.”
Други Берто (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.”
Sammy Vazquez (Непобеждаван Welterweight Contender): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 кръга.”
Robert Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): “This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.”
Luis Колазо (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.”
Devon Alexander (Former Welterweight Champion): “Това е един много вълнуващ двубой. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. Ще видим. This is boxing.”

“Победителят в Thurman-Porter веднага ще се премести в
пентхаус в средна категория” – Leonard
“Знам, че и Портър, и Търман имат възможността да се измъкнат един от друг. Ще бъде въпрос кой ще стигне до кой пръв.” –Hearns
NEW YORK (Юни 20, 2016) – Sugar Ray Leonard и Thomas “Наемен убиец” Hearns може да бъде уникално квалифициран да говори за това какъв шампион в средна категория на WBA Keith “One Time” Търман и “Showtime” Shawn Porter се замислят и чувстват, че се насочват към битката си, която изправя двама мъже един срещу друг, които са в примите си в силно заредена битка за върховенство в натоварената с талант дивизия в полутежка категория.
Очакваните заглавия на изчакване SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® на CBS представен от Премиер боксови Champions (PBC) с телевизионно покритие, започващо от 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT.
Леонард имаше запис от 30-1 с 21 KO и притежава титлата в полутежка категория на WBC, когато взе Hearns, който е бил 32-0 с 30 KO и притежава титлата на WBA, в мач от 15-ти кръг за обединяване на титлата в Лас Вегас на септември 16, 1981. Мачът беше таксуван като “Показването” и имаше световна телевизионна аудитория от 300 милион.
Битката беше битка назад и напред, но изглежда, че Hearns контролира, като спечели кръгове от девет до края 12 и на трите съдии’ скоркарти. Беше между кръгове 12 и 13 този треньор на Леонард, покойният Анджело Дънди, знаменито изкрещя на Леонард: “Сега го духаш, син! Надуваш!”
Leonard, с лявото око силно подути, обърна прилива в 14тата кръг, като залита Hearns с надвиснал десен и след това приковава Hearns по въжетата и отприщва бараж от удари, което подтикна съдията Дейви Пърл да спре двубоя, давайки победата на Леонард и го направи безспорен шампион в полутежка категория и цар на дивизията. По време на спирането Hearns беше водещ на трите показатели – 124-122, 125-122 и 125-121.
“Това беше най-трудната битка в живота ми. Трябваше всяка унция воля и сили, за да победи Томи Хърнс. Не бих могъл да взема толкова много от тези в моята кариера,” - каза Леонард. “Битката с Томи Хърнс беше тази, която ме заведе в мезонета.”
Леонард почувства, че победата над Хърнс го изстреля в суперзвезда. Той вярва, че същото нещо очаква победителя от „Търман-Портър“.
Чува за двубоя: “Исках да покажа на света си бокс способности. Знаеха, че мога да нокаутирам хората, но те не знаеха, че мога да боксирам много добре”
И Леонард и Хърнс казаха, че с нетърпение очакват мача между Търман и Портър, защото вярват, че това ще държи точно толкова драма, колкото и мачът им 35 Преди години.
“Да, можете да направите сравнението,” - каза Леонард. “И двете момчета са на върха на дивизията в полутежка категория. Единственото, което е различно е, че аз и Томи бяхме толкова добре познати от феновете на спорта. Бяхме по телевизията много, и точно това изгради имената ни и даде шанс на хората да ни видят толкова много. И това е, което правят сега с PBC и предаванията в мрежовата телевизия. Това може да е битка като нашата. Кой знае? Но знам, че феновете чакат този двубой.”
КАК ДА СЕ ПРЕДПОЧИТЕТЕ ДА СЕ НАПРАВЕТЕ НА НАЙ-ДОБРИЯ ЧОВЕК В РАЗПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕТО ВИ?
Hearns: “Винаги е трудно да се подготвиш за подобен човек, защото мислиш какъв ще бъде резултатът и какви са шансовете ти да спечелиш двубоя. Никога не съм мислил за загуба, но се замислих какви са шансовете ми.
Знаех, че ако изляза и се боксирам така, както знаех, че мога да боксирам, Бих бил Рей. Само мисълта да се бия с Рей ми донесе много въпроси. Някои имах отговори, а други не. Повечето други момчета, които знаех, че мога да изляза и да ги нокаутирам.”
КАКВО ВЗЕМЕ ВЕЧЕ ЗА ТОЗИ МАТУП?
LEONARD: “Просто сърцето на Кийт и Шон. И двете момчета имат сърце и и двете имат такава воля. Това спокойствие. Не можеш да научиш самообладание. Това е нещо, което имаш или нямаш. Не можете да научите това. Толкова дълбоко, дълбока самообладание, когато лявото ви око е затворено и черният ви дроб е спукан и трябва да станете на платното.”
Hearns: “Знам, че Търман и Портър имат способността да се измъкнат един от друг. Ще бъде въпрос кой ще стигне до кой пръв. Определено гледам. Надявам се да съм там лично.”
КАК ВАЖНО Е МЕНТАЛНИЯТ АСПЕКТ НА ТАЗИ МАТЧ?
Hearns: “Знам какво е да се караш срещу някой, когото хората не смятат, че можеш да победиш. Трябва да се подготвите за това. Това е ментален етап, през който преминавате, как подготвяш ума си. Ако можете да контролирате ума си и да кажете на тялото си какво ще правите, тогава можете да го направите. Не можете да се притеснявате колко добре може да удря другият човек. Просто стойте настрана. Продължавайте да слагате тази пръчка върху него и той няма да може да ви удари.”
КАКВО ВАШЕТО МЕНТАЛНОСТ Влезе в мача ПРОТИВ ЛЕОНАРД?
Hearns: “Не дойдох да си отида 12 или 15 кръга. Дойдох да ти ударя дупето и се прибрах. Нямах желание да отида 15 кръга. Тренирах за това, но аз никога не отивах 15 кръга.”
КАКВО ВАШЕТО МЕНТАЛНОСТ Влезе в мача СРЕЩУ СЛУШИТЕ?
LEONARD: “Чувствах, че мога да победя всеки. Брат ми Роджър не мислеше, че мога да победя Томи. Той не ми каза, докато свърши. В тренировъчен лагер използвах бокс Роджър и той щеше да кацне на много правилни ръце. Реши, че ако дясната ръка на Томи се приземи към мен, ще свърши. Брат ми нямаше много доверие в мен.”

LAS VEGAS (Юни 9, 2016) – Бившият световен шампион Shawn Porter hosted a Las Vegas media workout Сряда in advance of his welterweight world title showdown against undefeated Keith Търман на Събота, Юни 25 от Barclays Center в Бруклин, live on CBS and presented by Premier Boxing Champions with televised coverage beginning at 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT.

Porter and his father and trainer, Ken Porter, were on hand to speak to media and show
off the skills of the 28-year-old Akron, Ohio, native at the Porter Hy-Performance Center.
Here’s what the Porters said Сряда:
Шон PORTER
“Being the first fight in primetime on CBS since Muhammad Ali is very significant. It makes me want to go out there and do something inspiring.
“Keith’s injury gave me enough time to make extra sure that I had everything I needed to get ready for this fight. Not to say I wouldn’t have been ready Март 12 but it’s given me more time to reflect and visualize. На Юни 25, I know I will be 100 percent on every level.
“We sparred for about two weeks together but it was a while ago. The biggest change has been mental. There are things you learn and grow out of. I’m a lot different. Still some of the same skills but definitely stronger mentally.
“I think he can do some things. He can box very well. He throws good off balanced shots. I can box as well, but I have the pressure, quickness, foot speed and hand speed that it takes to not only outbox him, but to pressure him and hurt him. I think that’s what makes it a great fight.
“At this point, we look at everything we’ve done and move forward each day because we know something special is going to happen. I’m blessed to have a mindset where I don’t focus on what I’ve done. I am always looking forward to the next big opportunity.
“I think the fight is bigger since it’s been postponed. Taking it to Barclays Center is something that is special for the sport of boxing. I won my first championship there and I look forward to keeping up the recent history of great fights at Barclays Center.
“I want to win each and every round. We want to make him have to adjust to what we’re doing. If we control the fight, we win the fight.
“I’ve always been taught to control everything in a fight. I can’t allow him to slow the tempo down. But I’m definitely not going to rush. I have the skills to execute the game plan.
“I think the difference is in my preparation. I have a great team to match my great skills. We’re going to shock the world.”
KEN PORTER, Shawn’s Father & Треньор
“We normally don’t work out hard in front of the media, but we’ve decided to switch the energy and go harder during this afternoon session. This isn’t just for the cameras.
“I respect Keith Thurman as a fighter and a person. This is something that happens along the way. Fighters have to fight each other. Some of these young guys working in this gym, they might have to fight Shawn one day. But fight night is fight night.
“I’m not worried about anything Keith Thurman can do. We’ve done all the hard work. The foundation has been laid. He’s done this since he was four-years-old. He’s been on every stage and this is his time.”

Born and raised in the area, Thurman worked out at St. Pete Boxing Club along with longtime trainer Dan Birmingham as he prepared for his primetime battle against the strong and dangerous Porter.
Ето какво участниците трябваше да се каже, сряда:
КИЙТ Търман
“Muhammad Ali opened up the door for so many people. Michael Jordan changed the game in our era, but Ali did it so long ago. He showed people that boxing is a great sport and can be the most entertaining sport in the world.
“За мен, it’s almost like a dream come true. It’s surreal. I remember at an early age in boxing saying, ‘I want to be the guy that brings boxing back.’ I’m really blessed to be where I am in my career. For all the fighters who could end up on this stage, I’m proud that I’ve been chosen.
“I’ve always considered myself a knockout artist. Back to when I was a teenager knocking out grown men in headgear. Ever since then, I’ve been dropping people like a bad habit.
“I love being a power-puncher. My favorite fighter of all time is Mike Tyson. One of my goals that I set when I was a kid was to have more knockouts than Mike Tyson throughout my career.
“I’m ready for Shawn Porter. We’re going to box harder, box stronger and box better. I will be the better man.
“Training is the fundamentals of getting one prepared. We’ve always known that Shawn Porter was going to come into this fight in tremendous shape. That’s what his training methods are all about. But the Energizer Bunny has never been hit by Keith Thurman, and I’m pretty sure I could stop it in its tracks.
“Отивам за нокаут. I’ve stated it before. My hands are itching for a knockout. I’m ‘One Time,’ през цялото време. That’s my philosophy. Every single time I step into the ring I’m looking for the knockout. We don’t get paid for overtime.
“This is an opportunity to showcase our talents and our skills to the world. The winner will have an opportunity to be the head guy in the sport. I’ve always wanted to have a legacy in the sport of boxing.
“I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s my ultimate goal. There have only been so many in the history of boxing. I want to be a part of that history.”
DAN BIRMINGHAM, Thurman’s Trainer
“Keith is a guy who deserves to be on this stage. He has a lot of experience and he’s come into his own. This is the kind of thing that happens when you work hard.
“Life happens. Keith was involved in the accident and so we took the necessary rest. He saw the right doctors and we’re back now. We’re ready for Shawn Porter.
“We’re constantly conditioning. We’re working on attacking his style. He’s a short, come-forward brawler who’s going to try to come into Keith’s chest and make it a war. We’re making out adjustments.
“Keith has to be busier, more in charge fighter. He has to work off of his jab and then his power will keep Porter at bay.”

Featherweight Title On The Line In Cuellar vs. Mares Fight

Лос Анджелис, Халиф. (Юни 9, 2016) – Авенировите Mares, the former three-division world champion boxer, will be taking class, technique and power into the ring when he meets WBA Featherweight World ChampionИсус Куеляр на Събота, Юни 25 на живо по SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс на CBS представен от Премиер боксови Champions от Barclays Center в Бруклин, N.Y.. Отразяване на живо започва в 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST.

 

Билети могат да бъдат закупени онлайн, като посетите www.ticketmaster.com,www.barclayscenter.com или като се обадите 1-800-745-3000. Билетите също са на разположение в седалището на American Express Box в Barclays Center. Група намаления са възможни, като се обадите 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

Mares returns to the ring after a loss in one of 2015’s most-watched fights against featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz. В 2016 Mares changed his training camp to work with former world champion boxer and two-time “Trainer на годината,” Robert Garcia (Mikey Garcia, Антонио Margarito, Marcos Maidana) out of his Riverside, Калифорния., facility. Mares has continued to work with his longtime strength and condition coach Luis Garcia (Други Берто, Amir Khan). His fight against Cuellar not only marks his first fight of 2016 but a chance to capture a fourth world title.

 

“This is going to be a technical fight,” каза Mares. “Cuellar is a hard-hitting fighter and since the fight was made we’ve been preparing for a real battle. I have no personal vendetta against him, however I am excited to see what monster the Mares-Garcia combination has created and gets unleashed. My power and spirit are 1000 на сто. Fans are going to see a fantastic, clean, technical fight.”

 

For Mares’ fans the direction under the guidance of Garcia brings new possibilities for the fighter, and one that Garcia sees as the next step and progression for Abner.
“I’ve been seeing the Abner that the world knew three to four years ago,” said Garcia about Mares’ обучение. “A warrior with tremendous boxing skills, that’s the Abner I see now. He’s in tremendous shape but it’s a different Abner. He’s been a warrior all his life and he will come to fight – he has that mentality – but his jab, his straight punches and footwork are better than what fans have seen in the past two years.”

 

This fight marks the first fight for Mares in New York.

 

“It’s my first time fighting and being in New York and I plan on giving the fans at Barclays a ‘Fight of the Year’ производителност,” той каза. “New York is the home of the American dream. Being a Mexican who came to the U.S. as a young child, it’s hugely symbolic for me as well as my family. This is my chance at winning my fourth world title and to do it in the city that started so many dreams and careers and on the first primetime fight on CBS in almost 40 години, it’s an important moment.”

 

Авенир MARES:

How are you preparing for this fight? …

“I’ve been training with Robert since December. When the original March fight was postponed and I had a chance to fight Cuellar for the title so we never really took a break. We did change our training regimen a bit to stay fresh, get stronger and work on some tactical and technical skills. Robert has a great eye and knowledge of the sport, having worked with so many fighters, including Cuellar. It gives me an advantage in preparation.”

 

Why the change in trainers? …

“I knew I needed to change my camp after the last fight. I felt that we had a solid camp but in the end, I didn’t stick to the plan and it resulted in a loss. I am a warrior, Аз никога няма да се откажа, always come back. I am not afraid to take a fight. But I knew I needed a trainer whose plan I would have to follow versus having a trainer who would fit into mine. Robert and I come from similar backgrounds, his record speaks for itself and I know this partnership is going to deliver big wins.”

 

TRAINER ROBERT GARCIA:

What is Abner’s untapped skill? …

“Abner is very candid as a boxer. He has great skills in speed, footwork and power — he has all three and when combined he’s unstoppable. Sparring has been tremendous and if he does exactly what he is doing in gym and follows instructions then he can compete against any top featherweight in the world in my opinion.”

 

How is sparring? …

“Abner’s a beast. He’s doing great in our sparring sessions – his power is tremendous and his boxing has just become more effective. He’s always been a tremendous fighter who can box inside and on the outside. What the world saw and loved from him in August – his heart and ability to get in and fight – has been focused and strengthened. We’re very focused on winning and beating a hard-hitting fighter.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Юни 2, 2016) – Keith Търман, the reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion, is four weeks out from his Юни 25 title defense against Shawn Porter and has his 20-year career in boxing on his mind heading into the crucial showdown.
Thurman will be headlining on CBS live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn with televised coverage starting at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST. Билети могат да бъдат закупени онлайн, като посетите
www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.com или като се обадите 1-800-745-3000. Билетите също са на разположение в седалището на American Express Box в Barclays Center. Група намаления са възможни, като се обадите 844-BKLYN-GP.
“It’s been an amazing journey and no one predicted this better than my first coach Ben Getty,” said 27-year-old Thurman. “It puts me in a state of gratitude for Ben. He told everyone I’d be world champ, and here I am, defending my title against Shawn Porter. I am just starting to see what Ben Getty saw in me and the mark that I can make in boxing.”
Thurman isn’t the only one celebrating a boxing anniversary – his trainer of 13 years and Florida Hall of Fame elected boxing trainer Dan Birmingham, who trained former champion Winky Wright, has been in the sport for 50 години, and assistant trainer Chris Getty has grown up with Thurman in the sport through his father Ben Getty. The fight also is the first primetime fight on CBS in almost 40 years since the Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks from Las Vegas.
Сега, 20 years after Ben Getty introduced Thurman to boxing as part of an after school program, he is one of the strongest power punchers in the division, with an excellent knockout rate of 80%. His focus, обаче, is on making boxing history.
“My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division,” Саид Търман. “This camp, if anything, I feel more comfortable. I’m fully recovered, спаринг, обучение. I’ve been throwing power punches for what seems like forever and it’s a little weird. I can’t help but think about how this is my 20тата year in boxing and knowing the longevity I’ve had. It’s given me a new confidence. “
For Birmingham, this training camp has been a re-commitment to the strategic and conditioning process the team has gone through for each fight for the past 13 години.
“Training is going real well,” said Birmingham. “We know Porter is a come-forward fighter – he is going to try to be on Keith’s chest. I want Keith to box, use his power, use his jab, and use his feints to work the body from the inside. All the things Keith knows how to do. Porter is not a real technical fighter so we’re working on using that to our advantage.”
Birmingham on sparring:
“We’ve been doing great sparring work – we have some tough, tough kids in camp. We’ve been boosting aerobic capacity, and those kids are keeping on Keith. He’s going to be in great shape for this fight. We’re excited for this fight. “
What does Team “One Time” anticipate?
Бирмингам: “We know that Porter is going to bring it so we’re working extra hard on aerobics and being fit for this fight. Keith’s doing a lot of running, кардио, endurance; we expect a tough fight and we’ll be prepared for this fight. We expect a victory”
What can fans expect on Юни 25?
Търман: “Hopefully a knock out! I’m coming to bring it. Shawn is coming to bring it. Това ще бъде голяма борба. We are two of the top welterweights in the division. Two of the youngest and strongest welterweights in the sport going toe-to- toe.”
What is your goal for this fight?
Търман: “My goal is to be known as the hardest hitting welterweight in the division. My lifelong goal is to be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world – and I have a ways to go in unifying the titles. Once I move past Shawn I look forward to the challenge of making my dreams come true. I’m blessed to be where I am today.”
The Welterweight division is one of the hottest divisions in boxing, what do you think of a Super 6 tournament in the division?
Търман: “I’m for it. In the 147-pound division it’s time to unify a title. Someone at 147 should have more than one belt and that’s my goal that before end of the year to have more than one belt.”
One of the sports more enigmatic athletes, Thurman is known for having a varied list of interests and hobbies setting him apart from other fighters, including playing the flute, piano and guitar, books (The Secret Life of Plants to Bhagavad Gita the Little Buddhist Handbook) and music (Ziggy Marley to Tupac). It is his uniqueness that helps him be an easy fan-favorite.
“Greatest advice I’ve been given is just to be Keith Thurman – just be me,” Саид Търман. “I’m looking forward to stepping on this scale, not over talking and just going in and getting the knock out.”
